JESSICA WEISS: How to find Happiness in Your Career | WOMEN OF INSPIRATION

Monica is a tech executive with a strong background in healthcare, public health, and growth strategy. She started her career on the provider side of healthcare, working on growth initiatives for one of the nation’s largest integrated delivery networks at Highmark Health. Shortly after, she entered the tech space through a lead go-to-market role for a fast growing healthtech startup, launching her career in scaling high growth B2B tech SaaS companies. I wanted to chat with Monica because it's not common to find a woman of leadership in both tech and public health, especially one that embraces femininity in her leadership at HiLabs! A driving force behind her career progression and success is her desire to empower women in public health, leadership, and technology. She is a trailblazer in these fields and cares deeply about sharing her story so that other women can succeed.Connect with Monica:https://www.linkedin.com/in/monicakohli/FOLLOW ME:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ChristineWongInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/christine.innovatesLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christineywongFacebook: https://www.fb.me/ChristineWongFBWebsite: https://christineywong.me/

As someone who strives to be a social entrepreneur or someone who just wants to help the world and give back, I've always been very interested in the world of nonprofits.

She founded and ran a nonprofit at the age of 16 called Speak Love and has been on many nonprofits since then! We dive deep into starting and running a nonprofit, the misconceptions, how funding works, the difference between a nonprofit and b-corp, and the constant struggle of serving the business vs. serving the mission!
